I picked up a maxspect Dice AIO. It has a 15.75” x 15.75” footprint. No one seems to have their corresponding stand in stock, and the closest one I can find is a waterbox stand but it’s $300. I’m pretty handy and I know I can build one. I’m pretty confident that I know what to do, but just wanted to throw it out there and see what others who have built stands can give me as pointers. Or maybe someone has a blueprint of something similar they’ve already built. Thanks!
 
Building a cabinet for this sized tank is quite easy, if you're good at woodworking. You can do the whole 2x4 skinned thing, or just a well constructed cabinet of 3/4 plywood will be plenty strong enough. I have a couple of the IM 15 gallons, those are also 15"x15"15", so you can look for stands designed for that tank too.

A decent side table or night stand can also be enough to support that tank 🙂

Good luck with whatever you decide!
